Inspiring Workshops, Conscious Music, Movement Arts and Ceremony. Connect with the earth through the magical enchanting presence of Terra Madre Gardens. Enjoy her bounty as we Eat from her Organically Nurtured land. Cultivate your growth through our many different environments of education, exploration, and creation. Celebrate this conscious community we are building and the common thread that weaves us together.

Welcome Prism Tribe!
We are excited to connect with you again as we cultivate our growth and celebrate the abundance of life. In each of our gatherings we honor the earth cycles that move through us. Autumn Equinox is a special time when the sun enters 0 degrees reflecting the energy of cosmic balance. It represents the equilibrium of Masculine & Feminine, Day & Night, Darkness & Light. As we spiral into balance we also move from fire to earth, grounding our intentions and witnessing the bloom of the physical and mental seeds we planted earlier in the year. This time is a transitional celebration of abundance, a time to honor terra madre for her bounty and exchange. Our Theme for this gathering that we will collectively embody is “Rooted in Balance, Blooming in Abundance.”www.terramadregathering.com
